Street Begging

[Jordi Culé]

Plenty avoid it due to drugs, assault etc.

That’s true. The sad truth of it is some access the services provided as it maintains their lifestyle rather than wishing to address it.

Sludge is correct in saying most individuals suffer multi complex issues that have contributed to their situation but whatever the situation if they’re motivated, the services are there to address their issues.

As I’ve previously said, I’d stop all forms of begging as it maintains poor lifestyle choices. Easier said than done in a city like Cardiff. In Merthyr they addressed the situation by handing out Criminal Behaviour Orders to persistent offenders.
